Carpinus betulus \u2018Frans Fontaine\u2019 is a beautiful, upright hornbeam that\u2019s ideal for planting along a street. It also looks great on a green strip or in a park.<\/p>\n

When young, the tree has an almost columnar crown shape. As it matures, the tree develops a slightly wider, oval-shaped crown. This cultivar remains noticeably narrower in street plantings than Carpinus betulus \u2018Fastigiata\u2019. Incidentally, with proper pruning, you can easily maintain the tree in the desired shape. At our nursery, we grow this tree as a standard tree and as a pollarded tree.<\/p>\n

This cultivar is named after Mr. Frans Fontaine (1922\u20132002), who served as head of parks and recreation in Eindhoven for many years. He was also the author of the \u2018Boomspiegels\u2019 series, which our company published. If you\u2019d like to learn more about the origin and characteristics of Carpinus betulus \u2018Frans Fontaine\u2019 and about Mr. Frans Fontaine, you can read an article by Mart van den Oever from 2017 in Dendroflora:
